Sleep not as an island,

Pillar of the trenches seven miles deep

But ground yourself with Jacob's ladder,

Rocks and bridges holding back disease

And when you cannot move

Let Earth then move herself to hold you up

For if you push away her arms

They'll not return



Do you feel the blood divide beneath your skin?

Do you know a thousand battles wage within?

Do you see your own reflection when you stare into the rising water at your feet?

Alone, you cannot win



Blink if you can hear me

From across the untold miles where proud you stand

Hold on to your humility

Hold on to your life, like I hold on to your hand

Hold on to something stronger than blood

Something stronger than words

Something stronger than empty air we breathe

When weaker is all we seem to be



Everything will go tonight

Earth will overflow tonight

It's all in who you know tonight
